Meme coin Franklin on the SOL chain surged 160% in a single day, with political memes igniting market hype.
[BlockBeats] From last night to this morning, a meme coin called Franklin on the SOL chain has skyrocketed.
It surged 160% in 24 hours, with the current price hovering around $0.021 and a market cap reaching $21 million. This Franklin is actually the turtle from the classic children’s cartoon “Franklin and Friends”—yes, the same cartoon character that teaches kids life lessons.
But the reason this coin got popular isn’t really related to the cartoon. It started when a government war minister, Pete Hegseth, posted a political satire image using the turtle character. As soon as the image went public, social media exploded, the topic quickly gained traction, and someone launched a coin to ride the hype.
Honestly, meme coins are insanely volatile—up 160% today, might get cut in half tomorrow. Most of the hype is driven by trends and sentiment, with little real utility. You can play around with it if you want, but be prepared for it to go to zero. Don’t bet your life savings on it.
